Gmail can now monitor your shipments on iOS and Android devices

Gmail will provide you with a simple, usable view of your bundle monitoring and supply data right in your mailbox. For orders with tracking numbers, Gmail will prominently display your current supply status in your inbox list view and in an abstract card at the top of individual emails. Package tracking will be available from most major U.S. transport providers and will provide vital information at a glance, such as projected arrival date and status — such as “Label produced,” “Arriving tomorrow,” or “Delivered today.”

In the preliminary release, the company also indicated that, sooner or later, Gmail would recognise whether a delivery has been delayed and “proactively display a delay label and push the email to the top of your inbox so you don’t miss a beat (or a package).”
